I have a hard time keeping the rear end down and the rudder in the water while sailing. I've been told the "new" rudder system can accommodate longer rudder. Anyvody retro-fit a longer rudder for the older design?

Smiles,The original post disappeared but I did repost some of the details here:viewtopic.php?f=11&t=16964&p=86942If I was doing it again I wouldn't cut the original mechanism at all but would reshape the rudder blade to fit (one of Roadrunner's suggestions)Ignore the extra lines I added back then. This was before the separate up/down lines came out.I have recently upgraded to the full twin up/down lines using an Adventure upgrade kit. For that to work I had to tie down the older pull up rudder mount to the little brass hull insert. It was an easy fit and works well!
